Afridi keen to open ODIs

Pakistan's flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi is keen to take on his old role of opening the innings in the one-day series against South Africa. Afridi has been sent into bat lower down the order for the last few months and opened only once against Bangladesh in the Twenty20 World Cup last month, scoring 30-odd runs. Afridi said he was keen to open again because of the problem Pakistan was facing at this position for sometime now.
